How do I make the gauge work? It doesn't work while pumping. Please help. Thanks!

I had to get the pressure above 30 to 40 pounds before the gauge started working. After that it seemed to work fine although it's a little bet hard to read because it's so small. It also took a lot of pumping to get the pressure to 75 psi.

Put it on the valve while the lever is in the down position. Pulling it up is what locks in place. Took me a minute to figure that out as it's opposite to every other pump out there.

I'm not an expert in this but I can tell you that the pump on my system is very quiet. There is a pressure switch that tells the pump when your tank is full. Either you haven't ran it enough to fill the tank or the pressure switch is not working (or needs adjustment). Have you tried iSpring customer service? They may be able to help

There is a gauge, but the adapter cant lock on to the tube when pumping. Air keeps leaking, I could be bad luck. But I couldnt pump anything with it.

Did you try adjusting the switch shut-off screw on the end of the pump. This adjusts the pressure the pump will maintain. My guess is it needs to be turned clockwise if this is the problem. There should be a manual with the unit that has troubleshooting guide.

I had a plug-in pump, and it was still a pain. I think you need some kind of pump. Are you sure there wasn't one in the box? If not, contact the seller and and ask them to send it.

I had the same problem! Hold the center ring, in between the pump and base, then spin the pump.

make sure all seals are tight and the hose is connected properly to pump and fill tip. worse comes to worse use a bike pump or air mattress pump. be careful with the last idea. have some one hold a yard stick next to bosu while inflating and when good height have pin ready to go in as you pull hose

At first you have to give it maybe a dozen good pumps. If that doesn't do it, check the hook up on the bottle part of the unit, or the handle trigger. Took me a few minutes to figure it out too!

That happens with mine too (difficult to pump).. Probably normal =[ I suppose that's why they cost less than big name. Worth contacting Stant with that question. Let us know what you hear back

I use my bike pump all the time, it fits fine... Could it be that you didn't lock it after you put the valve in? I've forgotton that step, and the pump definitely won't work until it's locked.Also, one of the best investments I've ever made is the portable air compressor that runs off the car cigarette lighter. I bought it at a local hardware store for around $20, and I see that Amazon has one for $26. I use it all the time for pumping up sports balls, bike tires, and the BOB.

I didn't have any problem with the gauge. Having never used this product and not being a car guy I was using the gauge, but once the compressor kicked on the needled redlined. So I had to start letting coolant out, while the compressor was engaged, until the needle on the dial dropped back to the proper zone. Some of those responses may have been from people like me who have no experience and just don't know how to work it properly. That being said, I am sure you could buy just a gauge on amazon or your local car supply store.

"Do you have to do something special for the gauge to work?"Yep. You do have to do something special. Return the pump. I'm assuming that air is actually getting into the tube?

So there is a pressure gauge on the wand. However, inside the tank there is a summer-sausage sized (ha) plastic cylinder with a black "knobby" control on top. Twisting the control changes the amount of pressure that is allowed to build while pumping. Since I'm spraying my trees with this (works fairly well), I leave it on 80lbs.

First try pump alone in pan of water.even on lo some water should flow thru.There is a dial on side of pump minus to plus. Turn it to plus for maximum flow rate.If nothing comes out it probably is defectiveIt should move one half inch tube of water around one foot up

A faulty sensor or a small hole in the diaphragm, sorry not much help. You almost would need to out a pressure gauge on the line to see if it is true pressure drop triggering the cycle or a bleed in the system back through the pump. Crud or a hole interfearing with the actual pump assembly (not the motor). Aren't these things fun!

No, it's broken, check to see if there are leaks. If no leaks, remove the gauge and have it checked or zero-ed out.

must be a leak in the tubing to the gauge, or the liquid is frozen. this gauge is so basic, it cant fail. suck lightly on the tubing to see if the liquid will move.
